Why Metallica Star Turned To Fans To Fund Movie

(Classic Rock) Robert Trujillo says he has spent "a huge chunk" of his own money on his upcoming Jaco Pastorius film. The Metallica bass player explained his reasons for launching a crowdfunding campaign to help pay for Jaco: The Film by saying he "didn't write Enter Sandman."

Trujillo tells LA Weekly: "When you are trying to do it right, it's costly. I've been a part of this film for five years. I've spent a huge chunk of money. It's great because I feel it needs to be done, but I have responsibilities, too.

"People don't understand. I didn't write Enter Sandman. It's a little different for me." Jaco: The Movie is scheduled for a late 2015 release. It includes interviews with the bass icon's contemporaries, friends and family members. Read more here.
